This is a photo of the Jersey Surf's age-out class of 2008. We took this right after our World Championship Finals performance in Bloomington, Ind. Aging out of a drum corps is bittersweet – you know the day is coming and you spend your drum corps career growing and maturing as a person to make your final performance something truly incredible. Our Finals performance was the highest level of achievement and passion I had ever experienced, and I could not have asked for a better group of people to age out with.
